2/4/17: Change My Mind - JR JR

ARIGO MUSIC'S DAILY SONG SUGGESTION

Who needs Spotify, Apple Music, or Pandora? Well we all do, but here's OUR song suggestion of the day:

Change My Mind - JR JR

Read for yourselves what duo JR JR, specifically Daniel Zott, has to say about their latest song release here.

Basically, "Change My Mind" is about learning about our world through facts and through listening to others. Zott admits his apathy towards politics and the world as a whole in the aforementioned link. This all changed when he became the foster parent of an African American child. Since that experience, he has learned to care more, listen more, and work towards making the world a more just and peaceful place. JR JR speaks broadly in ways that can be applied to people across the political spectrum, both in the song and the linked post, which is refreshing in this time of division.

Zott writes, "The willingness to listen to each other, look at objective facts, and question whether our assumptions are correct seems to be eroding in favor of being on the winning side. And that results in a loss for everyone... We need to always be willing to learn and seek information, not confirmation of what we want to hear. And most importantly, we need to be willing to change our minds to move towards compassion, justice and eventually peace."

We hope you enjoy this song of the day, which leaves both JR JR and the listener feeling vulnerable and open.
